| MINISTER OF LIVE ROLEPLAY GOES TO KOSOVO | ||
|
In the very last minute of the publication of this issue of the Herald, Jared Elgvin, one of our most dedicated ministers sent this letter:
Mr President, State Secretary, and fellow Ministers of the Cabinet. Many were the ministers who wished him Good Luck on his journey. We will anticipate the Ministers return. |

| THE COMPLEXITY OF JUSTITIA | ||
|
As most of you know Ladonia is heavy engaged in courtcases with Sweden. The lates verdict from September, gave, at least a temporary freedom for Nimis and Arx, while Omfalos was condemned to be whiped out. Our enemy (the count who is, after all, doing extremly much for our country) has appealled the verdict. And so has Ladonia, concerning the Omfalos. And now: Time will run, making more and more history of things which from the beginning couldn't be taken as the real reality (whatever that is). The world is not about things or courtcases, it is about information. And we inform, like we do now. If anything is close to reality it is information. And seen through the huge amounts of information Ladonia can be visited. Real soil and constructions that would not be what they are without information. |

| ABOUT FREEDOM FROM LAWS AND RESTRICTIONS - CABINET DISCUSSI0N | ||
|
A great discussion in the cabinet was opened with a few word found on the Ladonia Discussion Board by the state secreatry:
"The King's person is sacred; he cannot be censured or accused. The responsibility rests with his Council." My declaration states "The Royality and Nobility of Ladonia are sacred; They cannot be censured or accused. The responsibility rests with no one!" Minister James von Hartman responded:
"This law if accepted would prevent a lot of future trouble from outside forces. I would suggest adoption of this as our law, with a review of the whole Constitution of the Kingdom of Norway incase there are further articles to make into laws with a Ladonian twist or application."
Minister John Parman showed his bitter irony and was probably in bad temper when he handled the matter with a rather rude language:
And then our president Fernando, speaking very wisely:
Minister Thomas Bako brought forward the idea of a Supreme Senate, certainly an ambitious project:
Then came a relief in these enormously serious discussion as Countess and minister Madeleine mentioned the "Supreme Pizza":
"I, Archduke Thomas Bako, I would like now to bring my Ladonian political career to an end. |

| AIRPORT | ||
|
After we got this letter from citizen Einar Bolstad, we have started to build an airport in Ladonia: "As an airline employee I´m of course interested in establishing a national airline, a so called flag carrier, for Ladonia. In order to do so, Ladonia needs an airport. This is an area where I have some insight as I´m also the holder of a glider pilot license. Possibly the airline could use only gliders. The possibilities are endless, well almost at least." The airport will be situated on a part of our main road, no. 1. It is on a slope which means that when aircrafts are landing they go upwards and vice versa. We will also ask all road-users to step aside when the aircrafts are coming and going. The airport will open 2000-01-01. |

| NEW MINISTER | ||

The Ministry of Paganism and Magic, is in the charge of Lord Peter Monwell. As he presents his department: "The Ministry will be a Central tool to develop alternative medicine and healing sources in the Ladonia aswell as in the rest of the free world, and and why not the not so free world, Sweden for example, and to be able to use the magic we have been taught for ages in a good way. Beannacht Ort" Minister Peter has also contributed with a poem in swedish "Calling for strength". In a way it is very useful. Placing your own name in the gap at the ending part of the rather long poem, you can achieve the strength you need: En Daglig Åkallan för kraft Idag omgärdar jag mig Trefaldigt med Gudarnas Kraft Samstämmighet med Andarna Vördnad för förfäderna Idag omgärdar jag mig Med kraften från den magiska bägaren Med spjutets kraft, och svärdets, Med suveränitetens sten Med hela sällskapet av Dannaan's släkte Idag omgärdar jag mig, Med kraften från de rena, Lydnad till Andarna Med kärleksfulla välsignelser till de döda De visas kunnande Modet hos de starka Med ungdomens oskuld Och hjältarnas dåd! Idag omgärdar jag mig Med Himlens kraft Med Solens ljus Med månens klara skärpa Med blixtens hastighet, och vindens rörlighet Med havets djup och med jordens fasthet Och klippans hårdhet Och kraften inifrån Idag omgärdar jag mig Med Gudinnans kraft att leda mig Med Gudarnas visdom att hålla mig uppe Med barnets kärlek till tröst Deras ögon må vaka över mig, deras öron må höra mig Må deras röster förklara för mig och deras händer vakta mig Må deras stigar öppnas för mig och må deras sköldar skydda mig Från ondskans snaror, från viljans vekhet Från allt som vill mig ont Nära och fjärran Jag åkallar dessa krafter att vara med mig och i mig Att låta mig klara alla utmaningar Att stå emellan mig och varje vilja som hotar min kropp och själ Jag åkallar dessa makter så att jag kan få visdom från de visa , Kärlek från de kärleksfulla Makt från de mäktiga Så att jag blir känd i de inre världarna och ärofullt bemött Känn Mig Ni mäktiga, för mitt namn är Kraften inom mig Kraften i min högra hand, kraften bakom mig Kraften i min vänstra hand, kraften framför mig Kraften över mig och kraften under. I alla åskådares ögon och i deras öron I hjärtat på alla skapelser Min Kraft är fullbordad. Idag omgärdar jag mig Med den Trefaldiga Kraften Ära till Gudarna Ära till Andarnas släkten Ära till de döda Och Ära till Druidernas visdom Som lever i mig för evigt Så må det varda! |

| POEMS IN LATIN | ||
|
This beautiful poem was given to Ladonia as tax. The name of the poet is Michiel Reynders: Io vivat! Io vivat! Nostrorum sanitas! Hoc est amoris poculum! Doloris est antidotum! Io vivat! Io vivat! Nostrorum sanitas Dum nihil est in poculo, Jam repleatur denuo! Io vivat! Io vivat! Nostrorum sanitas Nos jungit amicitia, Et vinum praebet gaudia. Io vivat! Io vivat! Nostrorum sanitas Est vita nostra brevior, Et mors amara longior. Io vivat! Io vivat! Nostrorum sanitas Osores nostri pereant! Amici semper floreant! Io vivat! Io vivat! Nostrorum sanitas Jam tota Academia Nobiscum amet gaudia. The latin poetry is at the moment prospering, here is one more that was written in Ladonia by Bertil Holmgren on a small piece of paper and handed over to the state secretary: Nimis Fata Ladonia Amfora Herodes Rex Nil Exodus Robur Ad Astra Simplex Mortis Par Memo Arx Solemnis I would say that both poems are not to difficult to translate at least not into Ladonian. |

| A VERY INTERESTING ARTWORK | ||
Ladonian citizen Ståle Sörensen has produced a most fascinating and intriguing work of art. As you can see in the picture it is partly an aquarium. The goldfish swimming around cannot be seen but it should be there. In the middle of the box an empty space contains a projector showing a film. The projection is to be found on the wall outside the box. In the film the artist is trying to swim. It comes to my mind that it might be a work about the relation between man and water, about technology and reality. It is probably a true picture of the society of information.

AT THE END OF THE DAY A word from our Minister of Health |
||
|
In study years I read a little paper by Tom Elsdale, who was inspired by therandom grinding of pebbles at an ocean beach. He believed in instability. Ithink that is truly important. Instability could be the neccessary interfacebetween matter and mind, causality and spirituality - just in the form offree thought and simplicity itself - when you throw a die and it tumblesaway chaotically, it could finally land with any one of its faces up. If youhave the psychokinetic ability to influence the outcome (and many Ladoniansas well as other people have, it is all prevailing), you need apply no extraenergy of the measurable kind, the die is free to land as you wish.In Process Work Psychology (PWP), founded by the physicist Arnold Mindell,who became a jungian, the physical human body is monitored by a Dreambody,or if you will, an invisible cloud carrying information (n.b. not DNAmolecules, which are quite visibly streched out in three dimensions).Especially dramatic and interesting are interactions between these twobodies in near death situations. I attended last winter's PWP intensivecourse. The PWP people seem unaware that most of their important discoverieswere already taught by the Eastern mystic Gurdjieff more than half a centuryearlier. Thus PWP seems to be another manifestation of something alreadyexisting rather than a new flash of genius. This already existing realm should begin, without a doubt, according to Sufiterminology used in the Gurdjieff school, with the alam-i arvah, or quitesimply a world of dream-stuff and spirits. It is all like the Russianbabushka dolls; the innermost and solid one corresponds to the physicalworld of things or alam-i asjam, then follows the mentioned alam-i arvah,thereafter next babushka is the alam-i imkan, the world of possibilities,where time no longer "runs out", next again is unfathomable, beyond countingand measurements... So where do we put the invisible cloud? If you watch the sea from the site of the formerly excisting but since manyyears into the sea washed out house of health of Ladonia, you might seeswells and rocks and clouds all over the sky, and see the swells marchtowards you in their typical rythmic yet unexpectedly disordered fashion,the rocks solid and motionless and now in the end of October rather cold,but the clouds never the same from one moment to next, just like weourselves when our outer shells of artificially aquired bon-tonpersonalities become cracked and fall away in deep frustrations with thestate of affairs of our puny lives - we become ghosts blown by all winds, realizing not even our thoughts are ours, they are wind and breeze, hail andrain... And we, with all our medals and other tokens of honour?If you watch the sea the site of the formerly existing but since many yearsinto the sea washed out house of health of Ladonia, you might be like therocks and the swells and the clouds all over the sky - all that, andnothing. And in nothing, the invisible cloud could enter. It would promise a mesmerizingly wonderful life. Best Regards, domestic & international, E. von Bock. Minister of Health |
